In Austin we headed for the hill, capitol hill.
After waiting for about 10 minutes outside in the security line, we wandered around the capitol.
Note the angelic back-lighting. The girls all wanted to just go up and up the steps.
There were lots of tourists speaking a variety of languages. It was a Saturday so maybe that’s why the tourists were out in great numbers.
Neither Sue nor I enjoyed looking over the low railings at how high up we were but the girls wanted to look!
Mouth closed, mouth open, mouth open wide
George W. was governor of Texas from 1995-2000. We did not run in to Rick Perry.
In the senate chamber with Lyndon Johnson
The House Christmas Tree
Two blocks away from the Capitol is Austin’s Cathedral where Brooks Whitmore is the organist.
Sue and I walked to the Cathedral just to see if Brooks happened to be practicing. We walked in right as a wedding party was getting ready to walk down the isle. There was organ music being performed. We passed by the bride and her father and climbed the stairs to see if it was Brooks playing. It was. He saw Sue but maybe didn’t recognize her. So we wouldn’t disturb the wedding any more, we slipped out the door. . .
. . .on the the Salt Lick.
